@Thehistoryofus: Actually, I think he would go to bed earlier (like 6/6:30) except that it's more conveneint for us to keep him and DD on the same bedtime. He's also never done more than 6 ounces at a time, but maybe he's ready now? Most of the time, during the day he only takes 3-4 ounces at a time; it's only at night that he'll take 6...

@Thehistoryofus: If I don't do a dream feed, he gets up at 11 and then 2, again. So his first stretch is longer with no dream feed, but he still only does 3-4 hours between bottles.

@zippylef: DD did it all on her own, too; I guess I just need to be more patient with DS!

I try to feed him more often during the day (every 2-3 hours), but then he doesn't take very much at each feeding. I could try lengthening the time between feedings to see if he'll take bigger bottles, though.

@Sammyfab: He used to get up at four but go back to sleep immediately as long as we put him in his bouncy chair with the vibrations on; since I started weaning his nighttime bottles, though, he won't go back to sleep at four without eating.

I could do a dream feed at 10, instead of 9; I was just doing it right before I go to bed. If I don't dream feed at 9, though, he's up at 11 and then 2, just like normal.

I think tonight I'll try dream feeding him at 10 a full 4 ounces, and feeding him a full 6 ounces at his next waking. Then, tomorrow, I'll try lengthening his time between bottles so he eats more at each feeding. Hopefully, we'll get this whole thing figured out!

@Sammyfab: Lol, thanks! I'll update tomorrow!
